THE WEIGHT OF WHAT REMAINS
SUPPORT
Arts University Plymouth, United Kingdom

This exhibition examines objects as vessels of memory, marked by passage of time as well as through processes of rust, erosion, deformation, and material transformation. The works exhibit foreground memory devices as layered, unstable, and subject to continual re-authorship, extending the inquiry to voids or perishable fragments of devices created through absence, destruction, or erasure, where what no longer exists retains conceptual weight. By engaging with fragments, remnants, and reconfigured materials, artists' works shift the locus of memory from original ownership towards acts of reinterpretation, raising questions around authorship, agency, and the mutable nature of remembrance that happens when an unlikely object is invested with a powerful desire diverted from its proper aim, giving birth to displaced wishes.
This topic is research on memory: how it resides among its beholders, the primary creator, the beholder and/or the collective group or family - holding allusions or the object itself, and whether void and substance carry equivalent significance as time alters perception, inviting experiences and considerations on the enduring relevance of memory in shaping meaning across material and immaterial states.
